Proteinocholia (proteinocholia; from proteins + Greek chole bile) is a condition in which the protein content in bile is increased.
The causes of proteinocholia can be inflammatory diseases of the liver and biliary tract, tumors of the biliary system, and cirrhosis of the liver. An increased protein content in bile leads to a violation of its physicochemical properties and contributes to the formation of stones in the gall bladder and bile ducts.
Diagnosis of proteinocholia is based on laboratory testing of bile obtained during duodenal intubation or during surgery. To treat it, it is necessary to eliminate the underlying disease that caused the disturbance in the composition of bile.
Proteinocholia: what is it and how does it affect health
Proteinocholia is a special condition in which the body experiences increased levels of proteins in the blood and bile. This condition can occur in various pathologies and diseases, such as liver cirrhosis, hepatitis, cholangitis and others.
With proteinocholia, protein metabolism is disrupted, which can lead to dysfunction of organs and systems. This condition is especially dangerous for the liver, since it is responsible for protein metabolism and detoxification.
In addition, proteinocholia may be accompanied by other disorders, for example, increased levels of bile acids in the blood, which can lead to various complications such as jaundice, damage to the nervous system and others.
To diagnose proteinocholia, it is necessary to conduct a comprehensive examination of the body, including blood, urine and bile tests, ultrasound examination of the liver and other organs.
Treatment of proteinocholia depends on its cause and may include the use of anti-inflammatory and choleretic drugs, diet and other methods.
In general, proteinocholia is a serious disease that requires timely diagnosis and treatment. At the first signs of a protein metabolism disorder, you should consult a doctor for an examination and prescribe appropriate treatment.
